IMPROVELENT IN DUMPING-WAG-ON.

The Schedule referred -to in those Lemmi-atout and maklng part ofthe same.

To all whom it ma/y conce/m:

Be it known that I, THOMAS H. GARY, of Bristol, in the county of Anne Arundel, and State of Maryland, have inventeda new and improved Dumping- Wagon and Oar; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, Vand exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speoication, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section.v

Figure 2 is a plan of a portion detached.

The object of this invention is to simplify and improve the device allowed to me January 22, 1869.

In the drawings- A indicates the frame, supported by the wagon or car-wheels, and provided with slotted side-pieces A A', to receive and accommodate the rollers B B rIhe latter are furnished with expanded heads, or attachable and detachable caps, or nuts b b', to prevent themjfrom escaping from the slots, and are so constructed and adapted to the frame A and wagon, or car-bodyC, that as the latter is slid back, it runsupon the rollers, and the latter travel back with it to the rear end of the slots a' al, and when it is slid forward again the rollers run forward with it to. the'forward end of the slots.

D is a pin fixed to the under side of the body C, and projecting down just behind the forward roller.

E is a curved rod, both ends of which are xed to the under side of the body C in such a manner that the rod passes under the rear roller, as seen in iig. 1.

When the body C is slid back, the rod E draws the roller B back, as seen by the blue lines, rig. 1,and when the body is pushed forward again, the rear end buff lines in the `saine figure.

At the same time when the body is slid forward, the

pin D. carries the roller- B forward, as shown in fig. 1. The rod E and pin 'D thus insure the proper position of the two rollers with relation to the body O and frame A, and toveach other.

The frame A may be provided with apin, or springcatch m, which, when the body O is run forward, will prevent it from being tilted. The rear roller operates as a fulcrum on which to tilt the body when it is run back.

The hook and chain I may be employed to prevent the body from running back too far, and insure its dumping properly.

The Whole apparatus is simple, light, easily operated, and-not liable to get out of' repair. Its parts are fewer than in my former invention, which reduces its original cost and its weight, and renders it less liable to get out of order than heretofore.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to 'secure by Letf ters Patent, is-

The combination and arrangement of the frame A, having the slots a a', with the body O, the rollers B B', 'the pin D, the rod E, and the catch, or pin m, all

constructed to operate together inthe manner-and for the purposes described.

To the/above specification of my improvement, I have set my hand, this 2d day of February, 1869.
